JAKARTA - The trial of the alleged bribery case for interim replacement (PAW) and the obstruction of the investigation with the defendant Secretary General of the PDI-P, Hasto Kristiyanto, was again held at the Central Jakarta District Court, today. The Public Prosecutor (JPU) plans to present three witnesses, one of whom is Saeful Bahri.
Saeful Bahri is known to be a former PDIP cadre and former convict of the Indonesian House of Representatives PAW bribery case.
"Witnesses: Saeful Bahri, Carolina Wahyu Apriliasari (private), and Nilamsari (housewives)," said KPK prosecutor Surya Dharma Tanjung in a written statement, Thursday, May 22.
It is planned that the trial with the agenda of examining witnesses will be held at around 10:00 WIB.
In the alleged bribery case, Hasto was jointly charged with advocate Donny Tri Istiqomah; the former convict of the Harun Masiku case, Saeful Bahri; and Harun Masiku gave money amounting to 57,350 Singapore dollars or equivalent to Rp600 million to Wahyu in the 2019-2020 period.
The money is allegedly given with the aim that Wahyu seeks the KPU to approve an interim replacement request (PAW) for the Elected Legislative Candidate for the Electoral Region (Dapil) of South Sumatra (Sumsel) I on behalf of DPR Members for the 2019-2024 period Riezky Aprilia to Harun Masiku.
In addition, Hasto was also charged with obstructing the investigation by ordering Harun, through the Aspiration House guard, Nur Hasan, to submerge Harun's cell phone into the water after the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) arrested members of the General Election Commission (KPU) for the 2017-2022 period Wahyu Setiawan.
